Mommy Cereal
November 5, 2008 11:49 am | by

One of my sons cannot eat foods that contain any form of corn, so we buy our cereal at Trader Joe’s on our way home from church every other weekend. The cheaper cereals sold there are made without corn syrup and tend to be priced the same as the cheap box cereals sold in our local grocery stores. Last weekend we ran out of cereal. I am six months pregnant with our third child and, for some reason, I really wanted cereal. The grocery stores close by don’t sell cereal that is safe for Andrew. Trader Joes is a 30

Saving money for Christmas with cloth diapers
October 25, 2008 1:26 pm | by

Over the last year, we’ve seen our family’s expenses rising. Milk is nearly $4 a gallon. Cheese is crazy expensive. Even my farmer’s market has raised prices on fruits and vegetables. And we don’t even have to talk about gas prices, right? So, let’s talk about how much we can spend on diapers. A newborn can go through as many as 12 diapers per day… if you do the math on the cost of disposable diapers at Amazon.com, it works out to around .17 – .25 per diaper or as much as $3 per day or $90 per month.

December 26, 2007 5:41 pm | by

Cloth diapers can be fun to decorate. I wanted something fun for the holidays this year, so I purchased some puff paint and put a set of three silvery blue snowflakes on the back of one of Oscar’s white bumGenius diapers. Below you’ll find directions for an easy way to decorate your Cloth Diapers with a snowflake. The process was fun – especially with my two little helpers (age 5 and 2) at my side! Step 1: Secure the cloth diaper to your counter or tableI stretched out the diaper and taped it to my counter using clear box tape.

Blog posts from cloth diapering moms
December 10, 2007 12:56 pm | by

I was giggling this morning as I read through some of the blog posts that came through my inbox over the weekend. Here are a few of my favorites: She tried! Hayden’s mama posted photos of her attempts at using cloth diapers here. The photos were taken from a distance so I can’t tell for sure what it is that is on the baby. One photo looks like it is a prefold, but then the front of the diaper looks like it might be something else. Any thoughts?http://babyhaydenspage.blogspot.com/ Classic marital discussions over diapers. Jack’s mama is learning about when she
